End of what rope? He was the one pushing to have the debate as scheduled.
Trump refuses to participate in virtual debate on Oct. 15: ‘I’m not going to waste my time’
The second of three presidential debates this fall was originally slated to take place in Miami, Florida on Oct. 15. Both the Biden and Trump campaigns had agreed to the date, location and format back in June.
Then last Friday, Trump announced that he and first lady Melania Trump had tested positive for the coronavirus. Since then, more than a dozen White House officials have tested positive for Covid-19.
The second of three presidential debates this fall was originally slated to take place in Miami, Florida on Oct. 15. Both the Biden and Trump campaigns had agreed to the date, location and format back in June.
Following Trump’s refusal to do a virtual debate, the Biden campaign proposed that the third and final debate, currently scheduled for Oct. 22, be held as a town-hall debate, instead of just the two men and a moderator.
The Trump campaign tentatively agreed to a town-hall on Oct. 22. But then they demanded a third and final debate on Oct. 29, arguing that an Oct. 22 town hall was essentially a rescheduling of next week’s debate.
The Biden campaign rejected the idea of adding another debate day, noting that it was Trump, not Biden, who blew up the Oct. 15 debate by refusing to participate under the rules set by the commission.
The debate commission's decision to go to a virtual debate came six days after Trump announced he had tested positive for the coronavirus.

Come on bruh. Dude caught Covid, literally refused to do the virtual debate, agreed to reschedule, AND THEN TOOK IT BACK to change the agreement to something else than honoring it when he's the one who caught Covid and why it was moved the first time. He was looking for an out. Pathetic for some who talks so big, he should have been kicking the door in to debate him whenever and however, not trying to change the rules against the commission multiple times and using it as an excuse to back out.
